IRB Infrastructure Developers, India’s leading and largest multi-national transport infrastructure developer, along with its listed Private InvIT joint venture IRB Infrastructure Trust, has collectively reported an 8 per cent year-on-year increase in toll revenue for the April to June quarter of FY26.

The combined toll revenue for Q1 FY26 stood at Rs. 16.8 billion, compared to Rs. 15.56 billion in the corresponding quarter of FY25.

Despite the early onset of the monsoon, which moderately impacted traffic volumes in June, the two entities registered toll revenue of Rs. 5.45 billion in June 2025, up from Rs. 5.17 billion in June 2024.

Commenting on the performance, Shri Amitabh Murarka, Deputy CEO, IRB Infrastructure Developerssaid, “It is encouraging to witness sustained growth in toll collections throughout the first quarter of FY26, compared to the same period last year — despite the early onset of the monsoon in many parts of the country, which had a marginal impact on traffic volumes.”

He added, “Looking ahead, we expect this positive growth trajectory to continue, supported by the anticipated completion of ongoing projects in our portfolio, which will further strengthen revenue visibility.”

IRB Infra remains focused on expanding its robust portfolio of BOT assets, backed by operational excellence and disciplined execution across project corridors.
